With the announcement of Sonic Origins , which certainly pleased the fans, the bad news about the DLC. For which Devolver Digital did not miss the opportunity to have its say , let’s say.
The title obviously wants to recover the flow of Sonic Mania , the much appreciated title of the hedgehog that you can also recover on Amazon.
Sonic Origins is a collection of Sonic episodes from the 16-bit era , with some technical additions and of content to make it slightly more modern and fresh.
But the cold shower came a few hours after the announcement, because some of these additional elements are only blocked behind the purchase of DLC and collector versions.
Devolver Digital , a well-known publisher of indie video games and a company with a strong humor , did not miss an opportunity to take a dig at Sonic Origins .
As we showed you yesterday in our news, SEGA has released an infographic to explain the contents that are blocked behind the various versions. This one:
The same infographic that made us discover this unpleasant pricing policy applied by SEGA, relati to the contents of the game.
Devolver Digital did the same thing, mocking obviously Sonic Origins in the meantime, via Twitter. Here is the original tweet:

«Our marketing department has created a handy guide for pre-ordering Trek to Yomi. We invite you to use it to set up your purchase path. »
From the text, and from the image, you can see that there is clearly a willingness to resume the Sonic Origins infographic.
All versions allow you to have every element of Trek to Yomi , including an “epic journey through the underground” and “back”, an “incredible soundtrack ”And“ full credits at the end ”.
A title we told you about some time ago, and which is probably one of the next indie games to consider.
Devolver Digital is by no means new to this kind of ingenious gimmick . As his E3 conferences show, which are real comedy shows.
